Any Audiophile Fuses UL approved? Thanks for the helpful information. I will check these out | |
Where to test tubes? Rodman, Thanks I have contacted them. | |
Unforgiving DAC or add Tube Preamp?? A used Ayon CD5s would include transport, dac and tubed preamp in one box and may fit the bill | |
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? +1 Nuforce/Nuprime, particularly with Bob Smith's TDDS factory authorized mods. I had their monobloc Reference 9V3Se, then Reference 20 and Now Evolution One. Have heard many other class D and these are best I have heard. Disclosure, my Reference ... | |
Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Answering your initial question. I am very happy with my Ayon CD35 CD player which has a tubed power supply and and tubed PreAmp. This got me close enough to vinyl on the things that vinyl does well, particularly emotional engagement, and a musica... | |
Von Schweikert VR 55 Active versus Wilson Audio Alexia's/Sasha's?? Which upgrade?? Definitely go with the VSA VR55 Aktives! I have had mine since April 2015 and could not be happier with the build, parts quality, sound, and service.

Captain Crunch decoder ring for findind audiophile quality CD recordings Get some CDs from Reference Recordings and also look for HDCD | |
SACD I have an expensive player that does both SACD and Red Book CD well, but while some SACD are good, very little of my music that I like the best is on SACD, so I use the SACD part very seldom. Hope this helps. | |
Mono Blocks on a Budget, is it possible? Getting two Nuprime STA 9's for 649 new each might fit the bill and they have audition period. I have Nuforce/Nuprime Ref 20 and had the Ref 9V3se mention in previous post, both are terrific, as well as Bob Smith's mods | |
Testing 6H30 tubes Thanks BarrySandy, will track down these leads | |
Testing 6H30 tubes Thanks for your input. My understanding is that I could hurt the tubes by using the wrong tester settings, so will look for someone with a 6H30 tester |
